Yes! I am "sew" excited! As a sewing enthusiast, I am "sew" thrilled to be able to share my passion for sewing and building sewing skills with my students. The
art studio at Willow Brook Elementary School was recently awarded a
grant of more than $1,800 to expand its sewing studio center. YAY!
We are one of nine schools in the region to be awarded a grant by
Maritz in collaboration with the Arts and Education Council. I am excited about rearranging the room to fit the new studio and my mind is racing with ideas! I can not wait to expand our current sewing studio center that houses a Viking sewing machine from the PTO, and a solid Singer Sewing machine that was my first sewing machine from my mom! The grant will provide the
purchase of four new sewing machines and a variety of sewing supplies,
such as scissors, quilting rulers, bobbins, thread, needles, rotary
cutters and fabric. We plan to use our sewing skills to give back to the community in a variety of simple sewing projects! See what schools were awarded from the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
